Written by the company

Nkuringo Safaris is a premier luxury destination management company (DMC) and experienced tour operator, established in 2007, focused on eco-friendly, tailor-made gorilla trekking adventures and authentic wildlife safaris in Uganda and Rwanda, with convenient extensions into Kenya and Tanzania. At Nkuringo Safaris, we believe the most meaningful journeys do more than reveal Africa’s wild beauty — they create lasting memories, foster genuine connections, and leave a positive footprint on both people and place. Led by expert local guides, our safaris take you deep into Bwindi’s misty forests for intimate gorilla encounters, across the endless plains of the Serengeti, and into East Africa’s most captivating landscapes — all crafted with care, precision, and personal attention. Each itinerary blends comfort with purpose. Guests stay at our award-winning Nkuringo Gorilla Lodge and a careful selection of eco-friendly lodge partners. Our guests have a chance to engage with passionate local specialists who proudly share their homeland, and have the opportunity to contribute to community projects through the Gorilla Junction Foundation — ensuring that your travel supports conservation and the people who protect these extraordinary places. With Nkuringo Safaris, you experience Africa not as a distant observer, but as a welcomed guest — returning home inspired, enriched, and forever connected.

I traveled with Nkuringo Safaris back…

I traveled with Nkuringo Safaris back in 2016. I will never forget my experience in Africa, it was my first time and I couldn't have selected a better tour planner. Lydia planned every single detail of my trip with such intricacy. My 14-day itinerary enabled me to fully experience Uganda, I visited Kidepo National Park on the northern side, tracked the mountain gorillas, and spent a week in Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls parks. I hope to return with my husband soon. Perhaps this time we shall climb Mountain Rwenzori.

Lovie,
Thank you so much for sharing your unforgettable experience with Nkuringo Safaris!

We’re so glad to hear that your first trip to Africa was such a success and that Lydia’s meticulous planning helped you fully experience the beauty of Uganda. It sounds like you had an incredible 14-day journey, with highlights like tracking the mountain gorillas and exploring Kidepo, Queen Elizabeth, and Murchison Falls parks. We're so happy to have been a part of such a special adventure.

We would love to welcome you back soon, and the idea of climbing Mount Rwenzori sounds like an amazing next chapter in your Uganda journey. We’ll be here to help make that dream a reality!

Cheers!
